Got a box of buttons lying around?! Endless scraps of gift wrap that you have saved but never use? These recycled Christmas tree cards are a fun way to make use of all those odds and ends we all have.

These recycled Christmas tree cards are for you! ๐ŸŽ„ 
A fun and creative way to make use of all those odds and ends we all have.
โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €
These cards are really simple to make and fun for all ages from toddlers to ten year olds. The best thing is you can use whatever bits and pieces you like to decorate your trees, thereโ€™s no right or wrong way to make them!

The beach is my happy place, whatever the weather. ๐Ÿ Being at the beach with these two and a thermos of tea in hand is my perfect day ๐Ÿฅฐ Iโ€™m truly in the present and the sea air blows my worries away. ๐ŸŒŠ โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €
Tell me where you like to head for a pick me up? 
Make a date to spend some time there soon! ๐Ÿ˜

โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €
Well we made these cute Halloween Egg Characters! ๐Ÿ˜What do you think?
โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €
It's sadly a bit too late to share these on the blog, but I couldn't let Halloween go by without these guys wishing you a spook-tastic Halloween! ๐Ÿ‘ป โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €
We're off trick or treating later! What are you up to for Halloween?
Instagram post 2150981108791359109_2464820318 The leaves are turning orange, yellow and gold, it's the perfect time of year to make leaf crafts! ๐Ÿ‚ ๐Ÿ โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €
Have you tried crafting with leaves?
โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €
I've been wanting to have a go at making leaf crafts for a while, so this year we've made these leaf hedgehogs. ๐Ÿฆ” 
This leaf hedgehog craft is an easy and fun nature craft, using only recycled and natural materials. You could try making other animals too!
๐ŸฆŠ ๐Ÿฆ‰ ๐Ÿฆก 
Have your children made any autumn crafts?
Instagram post 2110555954684905845_2464820318 Itโ€™s definitely not where you are itโ€™s who youโ€™re with โค๏ธ The weather is testing us right now, ๐Ÿ˜ฌbut weโ€™re making the most of our camping trip! ๐Ÿ• Itโ€™s only a quick iPhone photo, but I think sometimes the quick photos are the most memorable. Just need to get one with us all in! ๐Ÿคฃ
Going back off grid for a bit, as WiFi is slightly sketchy!

What have you been up to this summer so far? ๐Ÿ˜Ž
Instagram post 2098890313615849088_2464820318 What would you create with an empty round box of chocolates?
โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €
Love the imagination of my oldest making his 'chocolate box clock'! ๐Ÿ˜
(Though it seems to be lacking some numbers... ๐Ÿค”๐Ÿคฃ)

Cardboard boxes and felt tips for the win this summer!๐Ÿ“ฆ ๐Ÿ–Š 
My kids so far seem happy with an offering of cardboard boxes, a few crafty bits and plenty of outdoor time this holiday - plus a side helping of Peppa Pig where required! ๐Ÿคช) What are your tips for helping the kids entertain themselves this summer?
Instagram post 2085012096907817800_2464820318 Q: When is a stick not a stick?
A: When it's a magic wand of course! ๐ŸŒŸ โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €
We've been embracing our magical side and making magic wands with sticks! โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €
Do your children like to play with sticks? What do they imagine the stick is? A wand, a potion stirrer, a sword...? Do share! ๐Ÿ˜Š
Instagram post 2068447466815451560_2464820318 Does anyone else find little projects made from cardboard boxes scattered  all round their home?! ๐Ÿ˜
โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €
Not just me surely?! ๐Ÿคฃ
โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €
Any guesses what this creation is?!
โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €
In all seriousness, I love that my kids embrace their creativity with whatever is to hand. My son in particular LOVES junk modelling! He makes machines, conveyer belts, vehicles, buildings, whatever his imagination conjures up, all with cardboard boxes and bits and pieces.
โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €
Sometimes, I go a bit batty picking up bits of cardboard everywhere - but I know one day when he's all grown, I'll miss seeing his little cardboard creations hidden in random places round the house. So I do my best to treasure them. ๐Ÿ˜
โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €
By the way, this was a home for his knitted whale, complete with 'whale biscuits' and 'bath tub' - he later added a pool with water in, 'for splashing around'! ๐Ÿ˜Š
โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €
Do your kids like to make junk models? What do they like to make? โค๏ธ
